  O.K.  Here's your chance to tell me what a GREAT machine the Amiga is and
why I should buy an Amiga instead of an ATARI.  Here's the scoop:

  I'm looking to invest some $$ in a home computer.  My primary intended use
for the thing is to be a MIDI controller (voice editing, sequencing,
libriarian functions, etc).  So how does the Amiga stack up against the ATARI
in the MIDI world?  How's the 3rd party software support?  Is multi-tasking
an advantage for MIDI?  Also, 

                  WHICH AMIGA SHOULD I BUY?????  

  I was down at the local Amy store and the salesman there seemed to be
telling me that the 2000 was a waste of money and that I should buy a 500.
Is he right??

  Finally, how about prices?  I can get a 500 with color monitor, mouse, etc
for $975.00 locally.  Is that good or should I go mail order?

Thanks for any info...honest I appreciate it!


Please e-mail, I don't read this newsgroup very often since I don't own an
Amiga!
